EFFECTIVE mass digi photo photo storage ???
Posted: Wed Dec 08, 2021 6:48 am
Hi, it's been so long since I was on the up and up concerning computing power and ram etc. In fact I haven't had a legit computer for 4 years. I'm on a kick ass android tab.
My question is, if I have 10,000 photos does it matter if I store them all in one folder. Should I break them up into sub folders?
My goal is to have one massive folder and run a perpetual random slideshow projected on my wall. Does the fact that the app has to chug through so many files bog down my performance? Is this a non issue now because computers are so advanced.
The total size of the folder is about 6gb. The average file size is between 500kb and 1.2mb.
Also is there a difference with respect to android and windows computing potential in this topic? Is there a better choice regarding a hard drive and micro SD card. Let alone ssd drives which of course are the best option.
Am I over thinking this?
Thanks for reading
